Technically it doesn’t (as it means condominium which in theory could be single family homes) but practically it almost always means an “apartment you own” though sometimes “half a duplex” or similar proportions of a quad or six plex style.
But in the US it usually implies neighbors above and below and on the sides.
It’s the above and below; most people in the USA will think “condominium tower” when you say condo, but some (rarer) are much more like duplexes or single family homes.
And the kicker is that the above app doesn't even need to exist since myGov could just use industry standard TOTP two-factor auth like the dozens of other services I use.
Aussie politicians once again conforming to their lucky country stereotype:
"Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck. It lives on other people's ideas, and, although its ordinary people are adaptable, most of its leaders (in all fields) so lack curiosity about the events that surround them that they are often taken by surprise."
I'm not saying aus government online portals and services aren't top tier dog shit- but doing an age token through mygov is the best approach, hopefully with enough pressure to make it non shit.
The alternative is an acceleration of the negative cultural trends and atomisation we have now.
You don't get to cry about the negative effects of social media but also cry about censoring it/protecting an impressionable population from it at the same time.

This is a pure fantasy that you seem to recognise on some level.
You know all of the government apps are "top tier shit". You experience this, yourself, first hand. It's not some statistic, or report.
This, this is what any form of mandatory ID verification will be: shit. Top tier shit made by the most expensive consultancies using the cheapest possible outsourced Indian labour.

Tesla has cut prices very aggressively here in Australia [1] such that the "driveaway" prices for the Model 3 and Y are now ~AU$60k (or $US40k). There aren't a lot of government subsidies to buy EVs in Australia so that's what most Telsa buyers will pay, but those prices are very competitive given that many popular ICE SUVs now cost AU$50k+.
Ironically despite Australia being a major producer of uranium, its current Minister for Climate Change and Energy, Chris Bowen, constantly denigrates nuclear power [1]. But that's par for the course in Australian politics ("Australia is a lucky country run mainly by second rate people who share its luck").
I am commenting on etiquette, not the subject at hand: You could be more convincing and better received on this forum by giving a reason for you opinion. Espcially since most people reading won't have even opened the above link.
I used to walk over it almost every day when I worked at a coworking space in the old Lonely Planet HQ building. I think a lot of locals drive over it without ever realizing it's there.
